ObjectDCL and the development cycle

Software Development Cycle

Increase productivity by taking on opportunities opened up by ObjectDCL technology. Take existing AutoLISP® applications or build new ones. Then design dialogs in term of look, layout and behavior. ObjectDCL is very flexible and supports creative dialog designs.

Create projects and dialogs during the implementation phase. Assign names to dialogs and controls. Enable event handlers for certain dialogs and controls . Define the corresponding AutoLISP® function names for the event handlers. Use the ObjectDCL Dialog Editor and a syntax coloring-enabled text editor or VisualLisp®.

Test for usability and robustness. Give life to your applications by loading the ObjectDCL Runtime Extension (ARX) in AutoCAD® and gain access to a large API for handling ObjectDCL projects, dialogs and controls.

Create an installation package to deliver the product. The ObjectDCL Runtime Extension (ARX) comes with a distribution installer (the same installer is used for runtime distribution and software development) that runs silently as part of the new product's installation script.

If the finished product is for personal use, there is no need to sign projects. However, if it is targeted for distribution within organizations or to third-parties, sign projects with the ObjectDCL Distribution Kit. This enables application users to run the new software solution without purchasing a single-seat license for the ObjectDCL Runtime Extension (ARX).
